Does a Sauna Benefit You or Improve Fat Loss? - Thomas DeLauer
I'm about to totally wow you with the science of how sitting in a sauna for just a short amount of time after a workout or in general can totally shift the way that your body metabolizes energy and shift the way that your body built muscle and burns fat.
When we're looking at how a sauna affects the body, we're looking at something known as hyperthermic conditioning. Hyperthermic conditioning is just like the name implies. We're conditioning ourselves to be a little bit more exposed to a higher temperature. With hyperthermic conditioning, we're acclimating our bodies to heat independent of aerobic activity. Normally if you go out for a run or you do some kind of aerobic exercise, your core body temperature is going to go up, simply because you're moving. With hyperthermic conditioning, we're trying to elicit the same response, but without the actual activity. We're just trying to get the core body temperature up and still trying to get the same benefits, and now, the science is showing the benefits are there.
Basically what we're doing is we're trying to build a generalized tolerance to physiological stress by adapting to heat. Just like anything, we have an adaptation process that occurs, and when we expose ourselves to a lot of heat, we do have this adaptation that occurs at a cellular level and different metabolic levels.
Now the biggest one that we probably know of already is the increase in blood flow and plasma volume. This one kinda goes without saying. When you have more heat, your blood vessels dilate, you get more blood flow, yeah, that's all fine and dandy, but there's a lot of really cool stuff coming out in the way of what are called heat shock proteins. Now the studies that I'm gonna reference in this video, and believe me, there's quite a few of them, are going to really be centered around heat shock proteins and what these heat shock proteins do for not only your recovery, but your overall metabolism.
A heat shock protein is a highly conserved protein that sits inside of a cell. Every single organism has them and every single cell has heat shock proteins. They're proteins that sit in a reserve mode, waiting to get acted upon by high stress, for instance, high heat. That's why they're called heat shock proteins. When our cells are exposed to heat shock, these proteins are released, and they protect what are called the folding and unfolding of these different proteins inside of a cell. Inside of a cell, when you build a cell, you have proteins that fold on top of each other. Now sometimes they unfold, sometimes they fold, so these heat shock proteins stabilize them. They hold them in place so that they have a little bit more time to recover when exposed to extreme conditions like high heat.

I've been preaching this for years. no one listened. You will recover so much faster. Your cardio will improve. And the best part your mood will be boosted. It completely kills my anxiety and depression. Highly recommend for those with mood swings.
Mark Balogh when should I use the sauna?
@@jhonnyruizz7310 well buddy I mean everybody is dif but I like to do my workout first then suana for a total of 30 mins.not all at once do in 5 min intervals. You have to condition yourself over time it will get easy.
@@jhonnyruizz7310 its known to release dynorphins which cause pain and is why its so painfully hott. But the dynorphins are good because they basically make your body use endorphins better again. It also can release hgh up to 20fold
I have a sauna and love it, but only Jesus could cure my depression and anxiety
I say in a sauna for the first time and I swear I was on a cloud the remainder of the day
Living in Arizona all I need to do is just walk outside with a sweater on.
That's what I'm wondering. I'm in Houston and there's free sauna outside every day.
["6/18/19, Same thing in South Fla when out doing early morning walk in open space after about 44minutes one starts profusely sweating to the point a towel is required to keep at least eye areas dry to move forward. Cheers!"]
As finnish guy who have visited there I would say that is almost the same but in sauna you can get the most out of it when you go in sauna that is 120-130degrees you get that runnning high By just sitting
Arizona and Las Vegas is Dry weather. New York Florida New Orleans and more down south is humid weather. Dry heat is not healthy for you or your skin. Humid weather is more beneficial for you.
Honestly bru😂💀
Invested in a home sauna 20 years ago, I've had to replace/upgrade the electronics a couple of times but it was well worth it, the health benefits are tremendous. One of the best investments I've ever made.
IronSolid how big is ur house?😂
What are some of the benefits you’ve seen? How often do you use the sauna and at what durations?
@@scumpuppies i bought one on offer up. 30 mins sessions at 140 degrees. Feel amazing!!
IronSolid I bought a helicopter a couple days ago. My commute has been nonexistent. Best investment I ever made.
Saunas are also so fucking relaxing
I live in estonia( next to finland) and basically everyone has a sauna here and it is just part of the culture. We have a glass sauna that is on our balcony
Who’s watching this in the sauna
I’ve been watching you and dr Berg for the past 2 years. I’ve done baby steps in getting rid of my bad habits. But for the past 6 weeks I’ve truly been incorporating your advice and I have never felt better. 5 inches off the belly 15 pounds lost. You have changed my life thankyou. I’m going to keep it up! I’ll get back to you in 6 months!
How’s your progress ?
Great job mate, keep it up!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
It’s been 8mo. Give us an update.
Hope ur doing good now
U still alive?
Before Covid, I would work-out one day, then sit in the sauna for 30 minutes the next day. I would alternate like that. And good lord I felt like a million bucks for months. I just found out yesterday that they recently opened up the sauna at my gym again. Probably the best news I'll hear in all of 2021 haha. Wishing good health to everybody who read this. Move with a purpose!
Any updates on the use of the sauna with workouts
2 years later, what's the update?
Adaptation to heat and cold makes you so much stronger and antifragile!
So cold shower after workout then head straight to the sauna?
Your profile pic makes the comment so much better
61third noooo. You’ll get ill. Just try very cold water. Or high temp different times. Maybe even different days.
A mate of mine high on drugs at a festival: "cold is just a state of mind"... Gets 2nd degree pneumonia 😂
twilight where’s your source for cold adaptations and performance? Serious question.
I fast for 18-20 hours, drink 5/6L of water a day..train fasted and then after weights cardio in the steam room around 10/15, and i can tell you I've never burnt so much fat easily and also felt so healthy in my life.. mainly thanks to IF . Ok I cant lift as much.. but my body and head feels the best it ever has
u ok did u lost fat?
That’s all that matters bro
You weight train while fasting?
I'm military and base saunas are always filled with old dudes. But they're pretty buff old dudes. Now I know why
A Wolf I feel your pain. But besides the old naked retirees on base, the guys that talk continuously talk in the sauna bother me more.
😂😂😂like always, ones with no clothes on too
@@marshalltenbears9025 what kills me is when they keep adding water to the stones..
I think the buffness of the old dudes is directly related to being on a military base lol
@@tonybee4689 clothes in sauna ?? why ??
Dr Rhonda Patrick also has alot of information on this topic. Great video.
Is this why weight training in an old gym without air conditioning "feels" like a better or more productive workout?
10 minutes in the sauna before workouts and 15 minutes in the sauna after workouts. 💪🏼👊🏼
I've been looking for an answer to this. So 10 minutes before workout can it be used as a warm pre workout???
Im in a sauna 15-30minutes
@@Grind.Harder77 I do this every workout. My gym, especially in winter time, is always cool and I don't like to do warm up exercises if I can help it. I find 5 - 10 minutes in the sauna and I'm ready to hit the weights and have a sweat going. Give it a shot.
I've noticed a fluid mass loss of (on average) 1kg measured before and after a cumulative steam room session [post weight training]of up to 1.5 hours. This gets replaced each day.... but there is a gradual body mass loss over a week/month.....This mass loss is measurable down to 100g per 10 minutes of steam room time.

So if i spend 20 minutes in a sauna, i loose 200 grams of muscle mass? Yea sounds like bullshit my guy

Wow you seriously read my mind today! I’m a fitness instructor (teach Body attack, HIIT, and spin classes) and I practice Bikram yoga 2 times a week. Occasionally I wear a heart rate monitor in Bikram and I’m confused because it never measures a high heart rate OR that I have an overall high calorie burn even though it exhausts me, my performance in other activities has excelled and I can see a huge body composition change from practicing regularly the last few years. I was just telling my husband before I saw this that I wish there was some science to help explain why the calorie burn doesn’t match up with the results I see as an athlete practicing in 108 degree temps. Then I saw you posted this! Can’t wait to share this with my studio. Thanks for the good info!
I'm going to get in my infrared sauna today to detox and other benefits. Thanks for reminding me!
The only organs in the body that "detox" are the liver and kidneys.
Many peer reviewed studies have shown toxins in sweat.
Brett Bret 0.1% but it's recomened to take a shower :)
@@dc8povi and skin as it's pur biggest "organ"
I just joined a new gym AND it has a sauna! That was one of the reasons I joined!
I have heard good stories about the saunas that I regularly take. But thank you for breaking it down for us.
That was beautifully presented. Thx for demystifying the sauna thing.
FYI 10 minutes of steam room time = 100g mass loss. Those are the results I've seen over the last 2 months of daily testing.
What mass? Muscle, water, or fat?

I love Saunas, and my routine goes like this. 15 - 20 mins in Sauna, then ice cold shower and dip in the pool. Then repeat the process several times over 2 hours or so.
How many calories do you think you lose when do this routine on average?
That is awesome to know I have a portable sauna at home that I will use more often
Thank you for always posting great usable information!!!
DANAE 1 thank you for watching!!
i have the last 2 years allmost everyday 30-45 min sauna after my workouts, so this is good news to keep that good habit on i guess, and it feels so nice and relaxing after the workout
15-minute Sauna then a 2 minute cold shower! BEST FEELING EVER!!!!
Are you a beneficiary of this product? Does the sauna belt help lose belly fat?
@@MindoDoniEte Sauna does not help with fat burning (calorie burning is minimal in sauna). It does, however, help with eliminating water our cells hold on to. A lot of those cells are in the stomach area. I’ve realized that not being in a sauna since February this year (8 months), my body holds on to a lot more water, especially in my waist section. The sauna in my gym is closed due to covid.
Well I would think that negates some of the benefits of sauna use because u want to have ur body cool itself down as part of the adaptation process.
@@bryant8647 You are correct. I sit and cool down for 15-20 min before the cool shower. I found I continue to sweat for at least that long after the sauna
Would one of you smarties explain how saunas improve FAT LOSS (like the title says). I get the 30% increase in endurance activity but does that mean we are just capable of working out longer therefore inevitably using more calories?
Mary Wood your body works hard during sauna to maintain homeostasis and can burn up to 600 calories in 40 mins. Your heart rate gets up to 150 which is about moderate cardio :)
Your vast of knowledge WOWS me! Great video
He's not human. He's an Android.
Kim Ecker so glad you enjoy the info! I appreciate you tuning in!!
I guess I’m just confused about optimal times of using the sauna. Is using the sauna after a workout just as good as doing it on rest days? Or is it always better to do it after workouts? Is 2x a week a good starting point, or an average for how often to do it to reap the benefits? Can you overdo the sauna, is going every single day too much? And what’s the benefit difference between a regular sauna and infrared? My gym only has a regular sauna.
I've been asking questions like this too and no one seems to have the answers. I was told regular sauna is better than infared, but I forgot why.
7 days a week with 20 minute sessions. Watch Dr. Rhonda Patrick interview Dr. Jari Laukkanen on RUclips.
Thomas “this is where it gets interesting” DeLauer
DodgeThisAgent.tv oKKaeyy
Only question is to what benefit or harm is doing a small workout in the sauna during the 30 mins, as in a few push-ups sit ups etc. Or is just sitting sedentary the best option? Thanks Thomas!
I love going in the sauna. Pre and/or post workout.
What did the research say about temperature ranges in the sauna? I know the one study mentioned talked about 2 days per week and 32% endurance increase. But is there a recommended use per week and a time and temperature range?
Yes
Thomas... Great video, love the research (science) behind it... have always been a fan of Saunas, recently heard that Far- Infrared is actually better for Apoptosis than traditional saunas... what have you found in your research? Btw... keep up the great work my friend, love your Channel!!!
Dr Rhonda Patrick stated traditional Finnish saunas to be better since higher temperature
Great to know. In the fall and winter months I always enjoy the sauna. I had no idea of the benefits - I just do it because it feels great.
Last semester I was training for a 12 min run, i had to run at least 2450m, and after mounths I was able to run 1900m, after I learned about the sauna effect I did it for 2 hrs a day, 4 days total, ran 2550m after, it really works.
2 hours at a time or you broke it down ?
How tf did you not pass out ?
Saunas are the truth, I love them. I feel amazing after a sauna
Eamon Shields saunas are great, but Jesus is the Truth
thanks for your video, quite clear advices back-up with numbers. Take care.
Question: Which is better for recovery then???? Heat or cold??? Because many professional and amateur athletes use ice tubs to recover from long hard intense workouts. I hear of many benefits from using ice cold water for recovery. So if I had to pick one, which is more beneficial as far as muscle recovery????? Thanks for your consideration TD.....Waiting patiently for the science.
["6/18/19, Looks like Thomas left for a break 🤣. We looked into cold sculpturing and have the innerstanding it works best on visceral fat since this fat is different from post fat in body."]
["Complete body immersion we are with the innerstanding football players do it quite often."]
Thomas, please PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 quickly make a video on how to break a water fast and what all to eat to not gain the weight back and other tips. Would really appreciate it. I am currently doing a waterfast. Btw, I am a fan of your videos. Very informational. Love the content. Keep informing us. ❤
Wow!!! So happy you came out with this video! Will it help with inflammation? Also how many times a week can we do it the most
I love your videos!! So much amazing information!! Thsnk you!!
Great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Julie Labelle glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for tuning in!!
Sauna after a serious workout is a really bad idea! Working out causes some inflammation in the body (muscles tendons nerves etc.) & high heat increases that inflammation, if you keep doing this regularly you'll be in big big trouble.
I've learned that the hard way, ice it people! And if you wanna benefit from the sauna, do it separately.
Ahh the best thing about living in Finland: almost everyone has their own sauna! I can heat it up when ever I want and relax :)
Those who were wondering about the negative effects:
- nope, sauna does not affect your sperm count
- drink plenty of water after sauna, or you might feel tired and dizzy (duh, dehydration)
- tiny bit of alcohol is ok, couple of beers or cider. Don't get drunk though.
- don't go to sauna if you are sick with flu or other virus. That does bad to your heart muscle
- relax and cool down after sauna. Go out in fresh air still wearing towel/bathrobe, if possible. Cool breeze on hot skin does wonders to your vascular system and invigorates you, taking away the tired feeling
we also go swim in the frozen lake after the 120°C sauna xD
Pia Scott wow thanks for the info
Thanks 🙏
Great video! I wish this came out 10 weeks ago when I had surgery for my torn pec.
0:34 My gym membership would be terminated and I would probably be investigated by social services if I took a 3yo into the sauna here in the UK. No under 16yo are allowed!
Any good reason for that? (Unless it’s swimsuit-optional, or something.)
011angelfire Young children are less able to control body temp and would be less likely to realise the point when they need to get out. There are currently no Health & Safety Laws to enforce this but gyms are entitled to set their own rules and it would be bad press if children were to suffer tragedies due to oxygen starvation to the brain.
Da Matser I see. Didn’t know that, thanks.
Here in Finland it is normal for everyone from small babies to elders over 90 go to a sauna almost weekly. According to my father, i was under 12 months old when i was taken in to a sauna for the first time. Of course a little child cannot be in a sauna alone and not nearly as long as an adult.
I’ve only just started going to a sauna, so this information is fantastic. I am training or a full marathon on at the end of next year so any extra insurance is a bonus!
This guy is awesome!
QUESTION:- can the beneficial effects of a sauna very achieved through sitting in a hot bath instead?
I always hit the sauna and steam room after the gym, then the freezing plunge pool before my swim, leave that place tired but refreshed.
Same here
You are amazing! Thank you for all the information!
I use the dry sauna at the gym 6 days a week after I workout; feel great!!
When should you workout during 16/8 Intermitting Fasting? After you eat at 8pm?
Thomas, would like to see some videos about any ideas or research about alternating dry sauna and cold thermogenesis paired with fasting. I’ve gotten some good results with this personally but I’d like to understand the science behind it and maybe you can share some techniques for others.
Does it matter which meal you skip when fasting? I like to skip dinner and start with breakfast
It does matter, you want to prolong the time you fast, so you want to skip means from the tail ends of your day. Meaning that skip either the first meal or the last meal, not the one in between. If you're not skipping your evening snack, then you should skip breakfast. If you don't eat anything after your skipped dinner, then you should be alright.
Depends on your energy levels and schedule, but it doesn't matter. What matters is the not eating to not spike insulin what matters.
Mon P., if I could add just a little bit more information: if a person wants to use up adipose tissue then workout when the body has released glucagon, which is in the morning before breakfast.
Which is better, infrared or steam sauna?
Steam of course and preferably with wood kiuas. Smoke saunas are really cool too. Infrared just feels artificial, regards a Finn.
So after a workout what's best for recovery, cold water or sauna?
If both, which order?
What about hot baths or showers, do they have the same benefits or not
Like A Marko this is what I want to know...especially since I don’t have access to a sauna right now!
Nope, dry saunas are wayyy hotter.
Sauna is great for healthy people but not for anyone
With a heart issue. Thank you for your uploads I appreciate you knowledge so very much.
Before my sauna use I suffered from ectopic heart beats ( PVCs) and I had to take beta blockers to control them....happy to say that I'm off the medication now due to my sauna use ...somehow it has fixed my problem and I no longer suffer from this issue....so I don't quite agree with what u said here....
Very true
thomas, what is considered better; infrared or traditional? i'd love to know the science as to which and reasons why.
Does the sauna's heat source matter? IE: infrared vs radiant heat?
Infrared is always Betta than radiant
@@rashidataylor9089 thanks. Any idea why?
amazing valuable information. thanks 👍
Great information, Thomas. Thank you. I am a firm believer to take post-workout protein shakes immediately after my workout. But I prefer to do a 30 minutes sauna immediately after my workout. The questions is, what would be the best timings to consume post workout protein shake?
Workout->Sauna->Protein
OR
Workout->Protein->Sauna?
Glaring Mind i would like to know the answer as well.
I do sauna then protein, works for me!
Timing in eating does not matter.
Could you make a video about infrared saunas? What would be the difference? Can a jacuzzi help with metabolism and fat loss too?
Hi Thomas! How does an icecold shower impact the positive effects you're mentioning?
Also, would we see similar benefits from a hot bath or shower as we see from the sauna?
just go to a 120°C sauna and jump in a frozen lake or snow, or just very very cold shower. We finns do it every single day
and yes its good for you, maybe not americans or other foreigners. Finns and estonians can take it easily
@@dille1686 it'll probably be easier once the body gets used to it.
You go really into it, like you stuff. Would be nice if you would to a comparison between heat and cold and the right timing.
Love your videos. Never stop!
This is about exposing our bodies to temperatures which are sourced externally,how about 'internally'?does ingesting hot or cold food affect us?(gains,recovery ect.)
Thnx, im going 4times a week for some 30 minutes... is it oke to drink water in the sauna?
Yes, it helps greatly to sweat more and also to hydrate your body.
Love the idea of 26 Celsius being a normal day...here in the UK that is a (rare) hot summer day lol. Probably why I like saunas...
Hahaha sp true. For us its a hot summer day lol 😂🙌
I always turn the heat up in the room when I do a yoga workout. It gets up into the 80s. I'm not sure if that's enough to get heat stress proteins activated, but it sure feels good!
Thanks again Thomas for great info. I have been doing WimHof breathing and cold showers. Can you do a video on his work and cold showers please?
Thomas! Have you heard of Kefir? What are its effects on ketosis and more specifically fasting/fat burning? Just saw this and thought I would consult the expert.
How exactly does is effect weight loss? My English is bad so please explain in a way I can understand
Love the Sauna....this is great information.

Hello Thomas DeLauer.
I had a question if you don't mind or get a chance,
Would you consider multi-vitamins if you were doing a low carb or gluten free diet and also... What do you eat personally on your diet?
Great information!
Is there a difference between a dry and a steam room in this situation?
no. both raise body temp
Studies out there claim that steam rooms do everything saunas mentioned in this video, but to a higher extent
Infrared saunas are proven to be much more effective. This Facebook group has all of the details and much more about saunas. facebook.com/groups/saunadetox
73C is rather cold for a sauna. What are the effects of proper sauna temperatures?
us finns do like 100-120°C and then we jump in the frozen lake or snow. Its very good for your body. Some foreign scientists say its dangerous. For people not from finlan or estonia, it propably is. Finns and estonians can take it.
I heat the sauna to at least 80-90 before I go there.
I used to have pretty frequent occular auras in my vision, but when I started doing regular time in the sauna these episodes have greatly shrunk if not been eliminated. Maybe it's a coincidence, but I'll keep doing it.
Read the sauna article with great interest. Do you have any thoughts on chlorine, bromine and fluoride effect on the thyroid?
I live in AZ. and use a hot tub and pool year round. Great stuff. Keep em coming.
I have arthritis in my left hip (which has been growing across my lower back and now into my right hip). I have stiffness and aches. So I bought a sauna. i've had my infrared sauna for about a month now and have used it almost everyday for 90 minutes (yes!) per session at around 130 degrees.... I super-love the sweating (I setup a big screen TV just outside the all glass front of the sauna) so the 90 minutes goes by very fast and i love watching all the movies!) ... BUT... Sad to say... I've had absolutely ZERO relief in my stiffness and aches. I'm not giving up on the sauna because it feels soooooooooo good! I'm hoping my symptoms will improve at some point with regular sauna use.
Add ozone...
Cold before workout and heat hot water and sauna after a workout!
Notes
Heat shot proteins protect folding proteins
Journal of athletic training figures out that cell structure changed and increasing lipolysis happens when temperature and heart rate is increased
-58% increase in nopreinaphrine!
-53.9% HSP increased cells therefore recover easier and you put cell in great place to grow and the cells can better attract amino acids.
-prevent muscle atrophy this is why you can relax and live longer
-Elisite more of a recovery response due to increased blood flow
-more red blood cells means you can work out harder so use cold and hot to stimulate red blood cells
I lived in Japan and got used to long very hot baths. I feel a difference, especially when I use bath minerals.
If eating meat or nuts what are good examples of fat to protein ratios?
Thank you, very good information 😊
Surprised this video didn’t talk about how doing sauna 4x a week or more will decrease all cause mortality by 40%!!
really?
Jason Cheung yea it was mentioned on joe rogans podcast
I'm doing almost everyday for 2 weeks now. I finally hit 30 mins today. I feel 20 years younger.
So when do you sure in the sauna? After a workout? Before? Or on a rest day?
Excellent video! I would love to see a video on the benefits of Cold (ice baths) vs. Heat (sauna) therapy related to fat loss and the pros and cons of combining the two therapies
Its funny that The only Finnish word thats used in other languages is sauna
Well, it's perhaps the most important word in our language, so I don't mind.
that's odd, even the most common used which is taxi, is spelled different...
If they only could heat the Sauna like the Finns do... 73 celsius is way to cold..⛄ I personally like a lot higher temperature 🔥👍🏻. Not to mention these infrared "Sauna's".... maybe folks here in north america believe that's a sauna.. to me those crapy made in Asia things are NOT real sauna's.
Sorry mate. Rapakivi is another such word.
It is also pronounced sownaa. facebook.com/groups/saunadetox
I got a question: What about exersice in the sauna? Is it better than exersice before going in the sauna?
As a finnish person I can say that you can exercise in the sauna BUT you have to drink water at least twise as much as regularly, otherwise you get dehydrated very quickly.
@@jarzkathedevil8629 But does you burn fat better if you are exercise in the sauna??
So what is better sauna or steam room? Or it the same Thomas
Infrared sauna is superior to steam because you don't need nearly as high a temperature to sweat. Less stress on body.

Please talk about foam rolling

@@FIRChristian Why would it be useless? If massage is good so is foam roller
Hey Thomas! Thanks for the vid! I love to hit the sauna after the gym but its been crazy at work this month so I've been working out at home recently.
Is there any reason to believe that taking a longer hot shower might offer some of these benefits? I like to cycle hot and cold in the morning after a 30-40 min walk
Now on the days that I go to the Sauna two times per week! Do I go into the sauna for 30 minutes straight? Or would it be okay to go for 15 minutes and then go out for a 5 minute break and then finish my 30 minutes? Or do you think it would be better to do it all in one sitting?
Very cool stuff Thomas. They also show drastic improvements in hgh. If I remember correctly 2 1 hr session a day led to a 1600% increase and 2 30 min sessions a day was a 200% or 400%, or something like that. It was exponentially increasing over time.
@Pan Sonito he did another video about Apple cider vinegar improving electrolyte uptake. 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar. Half a tbsp cream of tartar for potassium.

Forget weight just go to a hot sauna till you can't take the heat no more , go to a cold shower refresh and back to sauna and repeat. Sooooo gooood and relaaaaxing ^^ wish I could do it but I'm trash :/ used to have one in my home in good old days ;(
What about just like an hour long shower a couple times a day? I know I give myself major heat shock coming out of that. It's called wet bulb temperature. The water increases the energy absorbed. It really feels so good to just go until you are just about to pass out with the water at a tem that is a bit painful not so much that you have to pull out but keep moving and then just turn it to the cold and run that on you and temper. I'd really like to get one of those ice water bathes so I can jump into that right after or a cryofreeze. I don't have 10 bands for one of those or the space so I'll just have to settle for stepping out my balcony in the winter for a few minutes.... I do like using a sauna or a steamroom too... I just have to go to the gym. If you can't get there the shower should work.
